Brawl between customers and handphone sellers forces Kota Raya closure

KUALA LUMPUR: A brawl between a group of dissatisfied customers and several handphone sellers this evening forced the Kota Raya shopping complex to pull down its shutters early.

It is learnt that the 4.30pm incident occurred when several customers, backed by a non-government organisation, went to the complex to seek a refund from several sellers who had allegedly cheated them.

A representative of the group Roslan Ismail told Harian Metro that a heated argument started when one of the business operators behaved rudely and tried to chase them out.

"We came here to help the cheated customers, and not to create any trouble.

"But chaos ensued when one of the sellers acted rudely. He even tried to chase us away," he said.

Roslan claimed that so far, only one of the victims had managed to get a refund.

He said there are many other victims, and they will continue to seek justice for them.
